In 1847, Henry Thayer M.D., opened a laboratory on Main Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts to produce his newly developed line of herbal extracts for sale to the medical profession. Born in 1828, into one of Massachusetts' founding families, he was trained in the medical arts of his day by his physician father. His method produced, for the first time, standardized strengths, enabling physicians to regulate dosages accurately. The company, named Henry Thayer & Company, prospered and broadened its line of products and has been described as the largest manufacturer of pharmaceuticals in America at the time of the Civil War.

In 1875, the company published "Descriptive Catalogue of Fluid and Solid Extracts in Vacuo" listing over 800 of its products: herbal based, presented in the forms of tinctures, infusions, syrups, poultices and wines. Prominent among these products was a Fluid Extract of Witch Hazel, listed as a "Tonic, astringent, and sedative; useful in checking hemorrhages and excessive discharges." The final pages show sugar-coated pills, a physician's dose list, apothecary's tables, a diet for invalids, and some diagnosis-related formulas including numerous combinations for cough remedies, a "Lotion for Humors and Eruptions", "Hair Restorative", and "Effervescent Lemonade Without a Machine."

After Dr. Thayer died in 1902, ownership of the business passed to his great niece, Mrs. Joseph Sturdevant. The nature of the business changed from emphasis on extracts of herbs to the preparation and sale of compound formulas marketed to the public through drug stores as "patent" medicines. Included were a line of 9 children's remedies, marketed under the brand name "Tots", a pile ointment, and a line of lozenges, including Slippery Elm Lozenges.

In 1947, Chase, Storrow Co. of Boston, a partnership of former Harvard roommates and recent Navy veterans, bought the company from Mrs. Joseph Sturdevant. A vigorous program of sales and advertising was begun based on a strategy of first increasing sales in New England, to be followed by expansion west of the Hudson River. The next decade saw distribution of the lozenges in the U.S. and Canada in independent drug stores and natural product stores, and the addition of related items, Cough Syrup, Nose Drops, Cold Sore Balm, and Coughmasters™. In 1989, the decision was made to add a line of Witch Hazel products for sale in the health food trade, with the addition of Aloe Vera to not only soothe and clean skin but soften as well.

In 1999 the company was sold to Karen Clarke, who for five years had served as General Manager. The Thayers family-business tradition was carried forward yet again in 2003, when Karen's son, John Gehr, came aboard as Vice President of Sales & Marketing and Business Development.

A longstanding commitment to making effective, natural remedies with high-quality ingredients has ensured Thayers' longevity. Its owners are confident that with this unwavering dedication, the company will flourish throughout the 21st Century.

Reviews For Witch Hazel Astringent - Lemon

Based on 8 Reviews

Staple

This product is a regular in my face-cleaning regime. It's quite gentle yet still removes so much dirt off the skin. I believe it helped ligthten some acne scars on my face. I also use this to clean out my dogs' ears with a cotton ball–win win for all of us.

Great Makeup Remover

I use this to remove my makeup before washing my face or just to refresh my face when I'm not wearing makeup. I also mix it with equal parts of olive oil and it makes a great eye makeup remover. (no alcohol)

- Lea

Refreshing

This stuff smells great and is very refreshing! I use it all over my body sometimes, but mostly I just pat it onto my face when I need a pick-me-up.

Love

My teenage daughters absolutely love this. They enjoy the cool, fresh feeling while using this. i Love the fresh and clean smell it has. Thank you for caring this product.

Fresh Skin

So, I just got this and so far I can't leave it alone. It makes my skin feel so soft and refreshed and the lemon smell really wakes my skin up. Since this is the first day I will update this review in couple days or week to tell you how it has helped my acne, blemishes, and dark spots. But so far even if it doesn't help those take away dark spots I will still keep it because it will make a great mist or on the go cleaner. Like if I'm leaving somewhere and my face is sweaty I will def pull this out and a cotton ball or pad and use this. So I'm for sure buying more.

Best toner yet for acne prone skin!

All I have to say is this toner does its job. Unclogs stubborn blackheads around my nose and cheeks, and keeps my skin feeling and looking fresh and balanced. I use this about 3x a day and can't live without it!

- Jasmine

Cleansing Essential

This toner is amazing. I use this in conjunction with a facial cleanser and coconut oil. The witch hazel and alcohol (there is alcohol in this one) help with my monthly breakouts and the lemon helps fade my acne scars quickly and brightens my face. Hooked for life!

- Stephannie

Love it!

Its not harsh for my acne prone skin type. I was able to use it with my prescribed medication and it didn't burn or irritate my skin.
